Chapter 1291: Chapter 71: Heavenly Dao Power (End of Volu)
Xiao Jie felt his heart surge, shaken by the grandeur and cruelty of this cosmic reincarnation, and the far-reaching strategy of the Tongtian Taoist.
At the sa ti, he felt a headache coming on.
“Wait, let clarify a few things first—” He raised his hand to interrupt the Tongtian Taoist’s narrative, looking at him with a mixture of suspicion and uncertainty, “You—are a Saint? Are you asking to handle the Demon Lord?”
The Tongtian Taoist slowly shook his head, his expression calm and unperturbed: “No, my original form was a Saint, but the current is rely one of his three thousand Avatars scattered across three thousand Small Worlds.”
Three thousand Avatars! Xiao Jie looked at the question mark level above the Tongtian Taoist’s head and silently clicked his tongue. Even one Avatar was already so deep and unfathomable; the combined strength of three thousand Avatars… Indeed, the realm of Saints was sothing he couldn’t even begin to imagine. In this light, so-called three thousand Small Worlds each likely had a “Tongtian Taoist” stationed, observing, or even guiding.
In this sense, the role of this Tongtian Taoist resembled that of the ga’s GM, responsible for selecting qualified Ascenders and sending them to the ultimate battlefield of the Great Thousand Worlds to confront the Demon Lord, who had already turned into a world-ending calamity.
However, a thought imdiately surfaced—a single Saint was already formidable; how terrifyingly powerful must the six Demon Lords, ford from Saints, be? Wouldn’t they be invincible?
According to the Tongtian Taoist, the Demon Lord was a Saint who mutated after absorbing an excess of Spiritual Energy and fundantal rules. This implies that the baseline strength of a Demon Lord is at least on the level of a Saint, possibly even stronger, more uncontrollable than normal Saints.
So how could this be fought? Rely on those less than ten thousand “chicken-feed” Immortals of the Great Thousand Worlds? This feels like sending a colony of ants to shake a towering tree, with no visible hope of success.
“Since the Demon Lord is so powerful…” Xiao Jie spoke bluntly, a hint of helplessness in his tone, “I don’t think I have the ability to save the world. This task sounds more like an impossible joke.”
“Haha, Daoist Sui Feng, why belittle yourself?” the Tongtian Taoist chuckled softly, confident, “You are the ‘Chosen One’, the only one who holds even a sliver of chance to turn the tide and save this world.”
“The Chosen One?” Xiao Jie looked speechless, “I think it’s more like ‘your chosen one’, right? My journey, from getting the ga activation code to triggering various quests to finally achieving Ascension to Immortality, hasn’t it all been in your calculations and layout?”
“No.” The Tongtian Taoist shook his head seriously, his expression solemn, “You truly are the Chosen One. All I can do is set up the chessboard, lay down the various essential elents and trials needed on the path to immortality. However, who exactly can acquire various opportunities, obtain each crucial reward, overco countless hardships, and ultimately achieve the grandeur of ascension, I have no answer. All these are the results manifested by the operation of the Heavenly Dao, an inevitable choice interwoven by countless chains of cause and effect.”
Xiao Jie was still sowhat unable to accept it, shook his head: “I’m just relatively lucky, that’s all.”
“Haha, luck?” The Tongtian Taoist raised his brow slightly, “There are tens of billions of living beings in the world, and among those who’ve ever gotten the ga activation code, there are only a little over a hundred thousand. Among these lucky one hundred thousand, only one or two have achieved the Immortal Path to date. You have accomplished this tiny fraction of a billionth probability achievent, surely not sothing that can be sumd up simply as ‘lucky’?”
He paused, his tone growing more profound: “In this grand chess ga I’ve set up, there are ninety-nine death traps hidden, any of which would lead ordinary players to a conclusion of eternal demise and obliteration.
Yet you? You manage every ti to find vitality in dire situations, see a path to survive in death traps, successfully pass through all the trials. This is the most direct proof of being the ‘Chosen One.’
The so-called Chosen Ones bear great fortune, favored by the Heavenly Dao. They often leap out of the constraints of predetermined fate, achieving accomplishnts unreachable to ordinary people. No matter the danger, they can always turn misfortune into blessings, survive crises. Even when deeply trapped in seemingly hopeless situations, there will always be soone willing to sacrifice for you or appear just in ti to help you out.”
The Tongtian Taoist gazed into Xiao Jie’s eyes, concluding with firm assurance: “Only with fortunes as miraculous as yours can you possibly find that faint opportunity to defeat the Demon Lord and save the Great Thousand Worlds soday in the future. If you still have doubts, try revisiting your past experiences and see if they align with what I just said.”
Xiao Jie was stunned by these words, wondering if he was really so incredible? Was he?
Unthinkingly, he drifted into mories, carefully organizing his experiences after entering “Old Soil.” The more he thought, the more his heart was filled with suspicion and uncertainty, as if a layer of mist was gradually being lifted.
He almost got killed right after getting the ga activation code and entering the ga for the first ti; it was Han Luo who took that disaster for him at a critical mont, allowing him to survive by chance.
He even considered committing suicide to return to the city back then but held back because Han Luo couldn’t create a new character after dying.
As he progressed, it was as if he had divine assistance every step of the way.
Originally, he just escorted I Want to Be Immortal to Xuanxu Palace for healing, and ended up encountering the Evil Man, gaining the crucial ability of [Human Relations].
While being targeted and hunted by the World Association, fleeing for his life, he unexpectedly t the White Ape and Immortal…
